Mechanism of neuropharmacological activity of mistletoe, BDNF signalling. Mistletoe has been reported to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level. BDNF binds to tyrosine receptor kinase B leading to its phosphorylation and activation of signaling pathways. The P13K pathway activates AKT leading to neuronal survival whereas MAPK/ERK pathway leads to neuronal growth and differentiation
